First take was his masterful pitching Job Tuesday night against the league-leading Holly wood Stars. Replacing the ail ing Guy Fletcher after the first inning,. . Ardizoia shackled the Stars with three hits for nine innings. Then In the tenth in ning, his sizzling single drove in the run that produced a l-to-0 win for the Rainiers. Con Dempsey of San Fran cisco also did some fancy hurl ing. He threw a six-hitter at the second-place Sacramento Solons and struck out seven. I he heals won, 4-to-O.

Finn Athlete Easily Beaten By Americans HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. 3. (&) Touring American athletes nad a nne-slded triumph over Finland today added to their list of conquests. A two-day dual meet ended yesterday with the U. S. track and field stars victorious In 11 of 16 events. They won all but one of the final day's contests the 10.000-meter run, which Viljo Heino captured in 30 min utes, eight seconds. Craig Dixon of Los Angeles won two events. He took the 100 meter dash in 10.7 seconds and the 110-meter high hurdles In M.3. The pole vault went to Bob Richards of Champaign, 111., at 14 feet, one Inch. Fortune Gordien, Minnesota's crack discus thrower, came through as expected with a heave of 178 feet, seven Inches. three Dodger runs. Bob Chenes was the loser. The Cincinnati Reds exploded with 15 hits to swamp the Phila delphia Phils, 11-3. In the only afternoon contest, the New York Giants shut out the Chicago Cubs, 3-0, for their fifth consecutive victory. Sheldon Jones pitched a three-hitter for his ninth success. Right en Jack.) "Msa l uuu MI - Revicw, Roseburg, Or. 3 and knocked out tha finalist. After the commission ordered the grapplers to meet again, Weaver announced he would re fuse and would take the final match elsewhere. But the Rose burg mat moguls were backed up by commissions in Eugene, Salem and Portland and Weaver found that he would return to Roseburg next Saturday to meet Hager or else! Weaver, a former University of Indiana football and wrestling star, will probably be a favorite to win the title relinquished by Honolulu-bound Ben Sherman, but will find himself extremely unpopular with a crowd that is expected to pack the local arena to near-capacity. Othtr Bouts Billed MatcDmaker Elton Owen has booked one of the most brilliant supporting programs in local mat history. Meeting in the semi-final will be the Yaqui Kid and Tony Ross, the so-called "Salem Sa dist". The opener will send Leo Karllnko against Salvadore Flores. There is certain to be a de cision in the coast light-heavyweight title tilt because t h e wrestlers will be required to go through a regular one-hour, two-out-of-three fall engagement. If there is no winner after those requirements have been met, the Roseburg commissioners will either make a decision or order the matmen to continue until a deciding fall has been registerd. The important assignment o f a referee for the match will not be made until match time. Owen said that he will definitely not he on hand to officiate. , LEAGUE LEADERS (By the Astoclited Prtni American l.eeciie Battlnf Dilltncer, St. Louti, J; Williams, Brnton, .343.

Two Games1 On Slate Of Umpqua Chiefs Tussle Here Friday With Ashland, Another At Myrtle Creek Sunday Roseburg's Umpqua Chiefs are listed for baseball games Friday night at Finlay field and Sunday afternoon at Myrtle Creek. Both games are expected to feature some determined ball playing by members of Manager Earl Sargent's Roseburg club and two worthy opponents. Friday night, the Chiefs play the host to Ashland, in an exhi bition contest set for 8:30. Ash land comes here to settle a score between the two clubs, arising out of last Sunday's league game at the high school ball diamond. The game was marked with many arguments and a disputed decision. Roseburg won 5-3, but Ashland declares the score should have been reversed and is anxi ous to prove the same this week end. Last Sunday, so many' argu ments took place on the field It became a regular duty of the an nouncer not only to give the hits, runs and errors after each in ning, but also to indicate the number of beefs that cropped up. Flegel Will Umpire To Insure that the latter sta tistic may be dispensed with in the Friday night session, the services of plate umpire Al Flegel will be solicited. Flegel was not available for any baseball game in Roseburg last weekend, as his umpiring services were in demand for the American Legion Junior baseball district playoff at Drain. Sunday, the Chiefs travel to Myrtle Creek, where a Southern Oregon league tilt between Man ager Earl Sargent's league-leading baseball club and Manager Kenny Laura noe's next-to-the-top Myrtle Creek aggregation is scheduled to be played starting at 2 p. m. The Sunday contest promises to be one of the big Douglas coun ty sporting events of the year as Myrtle Creek attempts to repeat an earlier ieague performance In which it defeated Roseburg, 61. The Chiefs, on the other hand, will try to make it three In a row over Myrtle Creek, having wnn two exhibition tussles by 'scores of 7-0 and 5-2. Reedsport Semi-Pros Defeat Silverton PORTLAND. Aug. 3. P) Kercher Lumber of Forest Grove and Portlands Kool Spot fell from the state semi-pro baseball tournament last night. Reedsport advanced with a third victory In defeating Silver ton. 2 to 1, the first loss for the latter.

Jacnbsen'i blow In the third, plus wlldness by the pitches scored both Albany runs. Dallas-Valsetz dumped Kool Spot, 1 to 0, with Pitcher Corky Van Loo getting the only hit, a single, to drive in the lone run for his team while shutting out the Portlanders. Three Reedsport singles and two errors by Silverton's First Baseman Bob Christiansen gave Reedsport two runs in the fourth. The lone Silverton run came on two doubles.

March-Released Fish Better Travelers Than Those Freed In May, June. Tags Disclose Why should fish released in March travel more than those planted In May and June? The game commission is seeking the answer to this question raised by the return of tags from marked rainbow trout released in the Umpqua river. Ross Newcomb, game depart ment biologist, reports that fish were planted from the Rock Creek hatchery during March, May, June and July. A few marked fish were Included with each planting. Returns from taps bv sports anglers Indicate that fish placed In the river In March had more tpndenry to move about than those planted at other times. For Instance, a fish planted March 15 in Copco hole wat caught 15 miles downstream. There Is more indication of up stream movement than in 1H4H, Newcomb says, hut migration generally Is downstream. Fish planted after the month of March seem to remain close to the spot in which they were re leased. Steelhead Gain Noted Migration of summer steelhead, disappointingly low, appears to he gaining slightly, Newcomb re ports. Fifty steelhead were tallied in one day at the Winchester counting station this week. To date, however, total movement has been only about one-half that of last year. A few spring Chinook salmon still are passing through the counting station.
